On Tuesday, a British judge upheld an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has spent more than five years evading the law inside Ecuador's London embassy. Assange’s lawyers argued it was no longer in the public interest to arrest him for jumping bail in 2012 and seeking shelter in the embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faces allegations of sexual assault and rape. Judge Emma Arbuthnot said she finds “arrest is a proportionate response”.
